Answer:

This amount will be reached in 1 year and 2 months, that is, in 14 months.

Explanation:

Given that 1 paisa is 1 cent of a rupee, at an increase of 2 paisa per rupee per month we are talking about an interest of 2% per month, which annualized is equal to 24% per year (12 x 2).

Thus, given that the initial amount is Rs $ 4800, to determine the period of time in which said interest will take the amount to Rs $ 5760 it is necessary to perform the following calculation:

4800 x 1.02 x X = 5760

4896 x X = 5760

X = 5760/4896

X = 1.17

Thus, this amount will be reached in 1.17 years, with which to calculate the number of months the following calculation must be performed:

1 = 12

0.17 = X

0.17 x 12 = X

2 = X

Thus, this amount will be reached in 1 year and 2 months, that is, in 14 months.
